Over 365 years ago China had ships of this tonnage


They were under the command of a Chinese Muslim Admiral named Zheng He.
China ruled the waves and she could have colonized the entire world.
Instead, the Ming emperor decreed that the entire Chinese fleet be destroyed and the Chinese were never to sojourn to any other foreign lands. China never invaded or colonized any lands with one exception.
This exception was when Kublai Khan, son of Genghis, wanted to conquer Nippon.
Thanks to extremely inclement weather his ship were done in and his shattered military forces were finished off by the samurai.
